Encryption Backup Appliance from BOSaNOVA Now Supports Multi-Devices

Phoenix, AZ - November 8, 2007 -  BOSaNOVA, Inc., the market leader in development of Security Solutions, Thin Clients and Network Appliances announced today that the Q³ storage encryption appliance is now available with the ability to support multi-devices.

The multi-drive firmware for the Q³ range is designed to allow users with specific configurations to use a single Q³ tape backup encryption appliance to handle data from up to four drives. Each drive can be set to either secure or run in transparent pass through mode, (allowing tapes written in clear text to be read by the system). Each drive is controlled independently and full status information for each drive can be displayed on the GUI supplied.

due to recent government regulations companies are now required by law to protect consumer’s personal information. Regulations like HIPAA protect consumers by requiring that their critical personal data is secure at all times. California Senate Bill 1386 goes one step further by requiring that customers are notified immediately when there’s a suspicion that their personal data has been compromised. This can be as simple as a tape lost in transit.

The GUI and unit auto configures dependent on the number of connected drives and allows robotics controls to be passed through on a fifth SCSI address or LUN. The unit remains transparent to the operating system and backup software making for a straightforward integration and operation.

“The continuing number of high profile security breaches due to lost and stolen tapes reported in the press is leading many companies to realize they are also at risk in this area,” says Martin Pladgeman, BOSaNOVA President. “The Q³ update to support multiple devices on a single Q³ unit follows our commitment to always remain up to date on the latest technology, while maintaining support for legacy systems, to offer our customers the simplest, most cost effective solution for protecting data at rest, whatever the system platform they are using.”

BOSaNOVA’s encryption products include the Q³, a stand-alone storage security encryption appliance, and the Q³i, a secure tape drive with built-in encryption. Both products offer easy installation, strong and simple key management, and PCI compliant encryption.

The Q³ is available for purchase through BOSaNOVA’s resellers. For sales information contact BOSaNOVA, Inc. toll-free at (866) 865-5250, or send e-mail to: info@theq3.com. Learn more about how to protect your data at rest, visit www.theQ3.com
